Ear tuning is what we all did on our older vehicles, but with the Computer adjusting for your moves, you may have created more problems. I did disconnect my Battery to reset the Computer however I didn't notice any difference afterwards. I'm actually thinking of Retarding further to use Mid grade or regular fuels. I'll let you know how it works out.

I just received my BR-3 Scan tool and love it, but didn't have my X to try it out on. It was at the Dealer getting a new Steering Gear Box.

Good luck, Adam

Hah, I'm getting the opposite of you. My idle is about 100 rpm too low and the truck doesn't seem to have the "snap" it used to have. MPG never changes, unless I'm on it too much.
I'm going to Pa. tomorrow night so I'll have use of one of my brothers timing lights. Jeez, we've come a long way from gapping points w/a matchbook and advancing it 'till it hollers. smile
Thanks for reminding me of the tps, I would've forgot that. Guess I better read my FSM. I usually wait until I screw something up before I crack that thing open.
